Monday's Maintenance: Sealing Your Driveway

An asphalt driveway can be a real luxury if you're used to driving on rocks or dirt; however, asphalt does require a little extra work. There is no secret time you should seal your driveway, but the typical suggested time to wait is three years. Depending on how you use your driveway and where you live, you will want to adjust your timing accordingly. Follow these tips to seal your driveway successfully!

  • Pick out the problem areas and fill in the cracks. This will help prevent small cracks from expanding into bigger, more problematic cracks. 
  • Get rid of stains. You'll need to really scrub, but with a little elbow grease, soap, and hot water, you can get rid of those nasty grease or oil stains. 
  • Fill in potholes. Hopefully you don't have many, or any at all, but if you do you'll need to fill them in prior to sealing the driveway.
  • Make sure it's hot outside! It might be tiring to work in the heat, but the higher the temperature, the easier it will be to seal your driveway, and it will set up much nicer, giving you a more attractive end result.
